Week 1 Its all invented
Wow, already this book is helping me to get my "thinking" about things on track. I mean I have been exposed to this way of thinking however, his orchestration of words and the stories and life examples bring things to a kind of "picture" for me. I can literally see and hear from a feeling perspective this point of view and it has become much more meaningful to me. It may have been that I am now "fertile" ground or ready to receive and now this causes me to perceive. If life is all invented than why would I want to invent the worst possible scenarios for myself? I often tell people about second life and say its virtual world, you can be what ever who ever so why would you want to do and be exactly who/what you are in your real world. Lol. My frame of reference and my thinking had been in a box with limited (very limited) possibilities. Now, I am seeing wonderful things for myself and my future because I have removed this old moldy crusty way of thinking. Kim Clement once said " You're somewhere out in the future and you look much better than you do right now." and that clicks. My life has been pretty well entrenched in the measurement world. Being raised by clinicians and military everything is measurable from grades to how dust free your room is. This preprogrammed way of doing things had been passed down for at least the last 4 generations. Now, the mental maps and the programing is being erased and rewritten as we speak. I am glad to read a course book that has the potential to change my life as I know it. Learning comes in many shapes and sizes but you have to be open to it and you have to recognize it when it happens.
